| I have used Garlic pepper spray concentrate that I bought about two months ago. The pests went away, and I stopped using it. Now I am seeing similiar problems on my pepper plants. Can I still use that concentrate that has been in my refridgerator? Or do I need to get some more? |

| It should be fine to go ahead and use it. I figure if it can sit on the store shelf for weeks or months, it can sit in my garden shed for weeks or months (grin). |

I mixed up some of the G/P spray last year, had a bit left over & used it this year w/success on spider mites. I kept in it the fridge, tho. Since we are on the subject of 'shelf life', how about compost tea you make yourself? I did the 10 day 'brewing' w/panty hose full of compost (like a tea bag) then poured the 'tea' into milk jugs, using it over a period of 2-3 weeks. Now I'm thinking it was 'dead' tea? did all the good microbes die in that period of time? I didn't refrigrate this.
